Today’s modern kitchen designs indulge in new color schemes that step away from your traditional shades. One combo we love is the sleek pairing of gray and black. If you can dare to be different, we’re happy to show you how to incorporate this duo in your new kitchen.
1. Gray or Black Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen designs with gray or black cabinets feel fresh and updated. This modern finish has become increasingly more popular, as homeowners have continued to favor stainless steel and matte black kitchen appliances. If you’re as crazy about this look as we are, here are a few of our favorite gray and black kitchen cabinets from The RTA Store for you to browse:
Grey Shaker: Classic Shaker style gets a modern makeover with this gorgeous grey finish. Sleek and versatile, this cabinetry collection complements a variety of kitchen islands, flooring and appliances — a perfect ready-to-assemble selection for transitional and modern kitchen designs!
Natural Gray Shaker: Another popular ready-to-assemble style at The RTA Store is Natural Gray Shaker. The gray stain allows for the wood’s natural grain to show through. This beautiful finish fits perfectly in more modern homes, especially those with an industrial or country theme.
Roosevelt Black: These semi-custom cabinets are pre-assembled, and will make an excellent addition to your new kitchen. Featuring raised-panel doors, they offer a sleek design and stunning painted black finish.
2. Hardwood Flooring
The new materials and styles of hardwood flooring allow you to incorporate more interesting finishes while still maintaining the classic look of wood. Gray or black hardwood flooring adds a dramatic element to your modern kitchen, and is a great way to incorporate one of these colorful trends.
In your search for new flooring, definitely take a look at LTV or luxury vinyl tile. This material mimics the appearance of stone, wood or tile but is much more affordable. Another reason so many homeowners opt for LVT is that it is extremely easy to install. Some options even come with self-adhesive backing, allowing it to be placed right on the floor or on top of your existing flooring.
3. Kitchen Islands
Mixing and matching cabinetry finishes lets you to get the best of both worlds, while adding some contrast to your kitchen. We love the idea of a gray or black kitchen island alongside white cabinets. You could even include both gray and black cabinetry by doing your wall cabinets one color and your island the other. You can find an extensive selection of black kitchen islands and carts at The RTA Store. Some styles even feature a beautiful gray granite countertop!
These portable options make it easy to add a new color to your kitchen, and can accommodate a variety of floor plans. You’ll find breakfast bars, portable islands, rolling carts, and bars. Some come with seating and others stand alone. With so many options, you’ll have no problem finding the perfect piece to add gray or black to your kitchen — and make the room more functional!
